ARLINGTON, Va. (WUSA9) -- An Arlington man accused of killing his estranged wife inside her home had a violent past that began well before their marriage, according to search warrants.

David Black was charged with first-degree murder in October in connection to the death of his estranged wife Bonnie Black. Prosecutors say David Black entered his estranged wife's home and stabbed her to death during the early morning hours of April 17, four days before their final divorce hearing.

During their investigation, detectives found a letter the 42-year-old wife and mother two wrote documenting an assault by David Black on Thanksgiving Day 2014, according to the warrants. Bonnie Black got a protective order against her husband, but he was arrested days later for violating it.

The man, who said his name is Abdi, didn’t want to show his face on camera, but he and his attorney say he's the first victim of the new policy, which prevents people from staying overnight without a boarding pass.
